Hospitalised: a chop and long day

I was going to the computer room but it's got too late. so midday today one of the guys on the course was rushed in feeling sick, dizzy and with a headache. an hour previously he'd had a pretty concrete thwack on the head frm the boom. we were about to come in but by the time we made it he'd already been whisked off via ambulance to hospital.  in the meantime we had an afternoon on correct pico maintenance and then an evening session running till half 7. both of which were really interesting.  
afterwards a few of us took a van up to the hospital to take him some stuff and also visit him. he was fine, even if his vision was a little doubled at times and he was a little unsteady.  he was glad 2 c us and we had a laugh. the saddest part was that they had to cut his drysuit in order to get him out of it as at first they thought he might have a neck injury. sad times.
in other news i broke two boats today. one time a screw came undone as i capsized=bye bye screw. and also by capsizing so that the mast came out.
